New to the Ford scene

[JamieA]

Hi, I'm Jamie new to the Ford scene. Have had pretty much every European hot hatch known to man but like most In my younger days, could never afford a fast ford. When I started driving in the early 90s the cars to have were the XR2s, XR3is, Mk2 RS Turbo's, Saphire Cosworths but could never get insured on them so always went for the cheaper French /German cars. Now fast forward 30 years, got a bit of money in my pocket so recently acquired a sweet Mk1 Escort, 1700 Crossflow with twin webers, goes like stink adn quite frankly scares me to death, so raw compared to the my daily driver. Anyway, you'll see me regularly at Wheels on Wednesday Spetchley Gardens near Worcester, Caffeine and Machine Stratford and the Bowling Green shows at Stoke Prior as I'm local to the Midlands. Great to meet and talk cars
